Why not add layers into navigator too?

Excuse my ignorance, i didnt know that the bar containing layout, controls, and
dimension lines was layers. :D

The problem i see with using layers in the navigator is that you can have some
objects in a layer that are above or below another layer, so then how would you
show it in the navigator. Lets take this as an example without layers.

+ Page 1
  Shape 2
  Shape 1
  Shape 3

And with Shape 2 and Shape 3 being on the Controls layer, it would show up like
this

+ Page 1
  + Layout
    Shape 1
  + Controls
    Shape 2
    Shape 3

And doing it like this wouldnt be an option.

+ Page 1
  + Controls
    Shape 2
  + Layout
    Shape 1
  + Controls
    Shape 3

To solve the layering issue, i believe we can add the layer name after the
objects name, like so - Shape 2 (Controls) - or alternatively we can do
something like this.

+ Page 1
  + Layers
    Layout
    Controls
    Dimension Lines
  + Objects
    Shape 2 (Controls)
    Shape 1 (Layout)
    Shape 3 (Controls)

With layer entries in the navigator, we could provide layer context menu
modification options like rename, visible, locked, and printable, as well as
visible and locked buttons in the control.
